Protective antibodies towards the important childhood pathogen type b (Hib) are directed against the capsular polysaccharide (HibCP). models of 3–d-ribose-(1-1)-ribitol-5-phosphate (11). HibCP is usually a relatively rigid, unbranched, linear molecule, and most, if not all, HibCP antibodies recognize repeated linear epitopes comprising approximately three adjacent repeat models (20, 23, 38). Antibodies to the ends of… Continue reading Protective antibodies towards the important childhood pathogen type b (Hib) are
